Hey from a fellow Detroiter! April is probably the best case scenario. We’ll still get some freezing nights but the ground should be largely thawed by then.

First time home owner. Want to dig out a fence post. Post winter, approximately how long before I can dig out a fence post by hand? April or may? Simply 1 week of 50 or 60 degree weather? Any thoughts are appreciated

In Minnesota it has to be between July 1-10 and even then you hit permafrost after 4 feet. After July 10 winter starts coming back 😉
